most probably. some first batch unit sure got this issue.

depends on the production batch also lah, US released like 2 weeks ahead from us. From what I know so far Sammy calibrates their display per production batch, maybe there are a few earlier batch that was allocate in the US that was sharing one calibration despite different production batch. Looking that there's only 'red tint' now, and no other color tint appears, it's quite safe to say there's one batch that was having the problem, and probably all gone to US market liao ( or i hope so )

update on talking with Lazada customer support:

Sir as per checking with our team this item only will be in stock at our seller warehouse on 4 May 2017, so we will delivery the item within 3-5 working days from 4/5/2017

so I am going to get my unit later than 5/5? that really pisses me off

Update:
the customer support also mention that a lot of other customer also lodge request for the phone to reach by 4th may, not deliver out by then. Their management is in the midst of investigating and make sure they fulfill their promise.

was dilemma order between 11street or lazada... in the end picked lazada  doh.gif  wrong move ...  bangwall.gif

I order that time dunno why 11street page cant load properly, so i went lazada to order. I think I wont order anything from lazada anymore. They dont have any messaging tools to allow us to talk to seller directly, nor QnA session like 11s.

That's probably because the link links to their pre-order product page, which is no longer on offer.

yeah, but they could have kept that and make it out of stock, at least we can still see it, and they can make announcements using that product page

I dont normally jump into arguments, but this is seriously getting out of hands. Almost 2 pages talking about which discount has more worth?

crazycrazymanobvious sees lower price as better option, since the price drop is compared against RRP, and for people that dont need the freebies, obviously lower price is better, and warranty is like insurance. some people think insurance is a must have, while some doesnt even have insurance and still feel ok about it.

I get what Velocity is saying about the feebies having values, and lemme quote something
QUOTE
If the item freebies worth RM999 but you can buy it for RM199 its a marketing gimic but if the item is value RM399 and for to buy it outside is also RM399 its no more gimic.
Sure, but selling something that is probably RM199(or less ) worth of stuff at a RM399 RRP is also a gimmic. You calculations are all based on RRP, the price that no one would want to buy from samsung.

Also let's take S8 as example here, he gets 10% discount, which is RM300, in your case, you buy from RRP 3299, with freebies etc etc. He sells at 2.5k, I can bet the most you can sell also 2.8k, cos, let's look at the freebies. One clear SP, one clear case ( both offer almost no protection ), wireless charger( old model ), and additional one year warranty that by the time you sell is probably having one year left, and no more screen crack protection? So end of the day, you sell RM300 extra compared to him, but then again, he bought the phone Rm300 cheaper. It's basically the same right? Even if you sell slightly higher, 100 more compared to him, that's also a minor amount compared to the 'huge value' that you are talking about.

I see you also editing some part of your statement on the 3 years thing that Andrewtst talked about. Ok sure, nice cover there. But calling names and being rude is really uncalled for. If your statement is so solid in the first place, reply them with your thoughts and convince them, not calling them name and criticizing someone having poor math etc.

I believed you are a great person for willing to organize the clear coat discount sales for us, but I think i'll reconsider my opinion of you right now.

It's a sign that people dont like powerbank >.<

I have quite a handful of powerbank, but they're now collecting dust. with fast charging tech, i just need to have a socket and i can charge my phone from 10%- 50% in 20-30minutes time. Convenient AF.
*
no lah, the powerbank is definitely a good addition, but yeah sure it has quick charge, but end of the day it's a 5k mah powerbank. I had a xiaomi 5k last time that I gave to my gf, it charges relatively fast, and I have 2 more 10k pb to standby and charge in rotation, so i dont see much value compared to say wireless charger which should be quite syok to use ( for show off in office )

also, actually meant to type powerbank one, but forgot to mention about it in the freebies part

i guess its good for on the go travelling etc. More so since mine is S8 and not S8+. I believe S8+ can get around 6-7 hours OST while S8 manages about 4-5.

at first I also undervalue that powerbank. But now I think back, its a usb c powerbank. So its definitely better than my other powerbanks at home because I would not need to carry that tiny adapter around, which may get lost or something and its an inconvenience to use an adapter (unless you are Apple and you think adapters and dongles are brilliant  tongue.gif )

but yeah, all my powerbanks are micro USB so this new usb c powerbank is great for me
*
haha.. for my it doesnt really matter as long as i have the Type A to type C cable. I most likely carry my camera etc around so I still need micro usb connection

if you not planning to get gear VR or gear 360, get that 3.5k one.

if you plan to get the gear VR/360 then 3.7k is better.
*
only if he's interested in both, or the gear 360. If he's only interested in the gear VR, he can get it at around same price without queue, cos the VR discount is just RM250. Depends if you time is worth RM50 or not. IMO i'll skip the roadshow so that my time are better spent somewhere not queueing up

hey come to think of it, if im not mistaken those pre-order in the starter kit got usb to usb type C cable also right?
hah! a solution found for my old powerbanks! thanks for reminding!

Means I dont have to keep the powerbank.
*
"additional" dude, I think the cable in the box itself is already Type A -> Type C

look around 3:25

basically i think the PB also charges your phone through a Type A connection, so I dont see a problem with it though.

Agreed.. and its only 200 pieces. SME is really doing all they could just to get people to queue up. Guess there will be a press release for such activities. But 200 pieces, i found it's not sincere enough. >><
*
actually I remember last time S7E, they were offering 400 units with free wireless charger. I went there on saturday noon, and the free wireless is still available, and some of the vendors said that the freebies might probably even last till sunday

I dont exactly know how much was left when I arrive, but it seems like based on this, and if sales are similar, they probably last the whole friday with those units also.

hmmm should i revise my initial plan of lining up there in the morning? hmmmmmm

lol, I think if you're keen then go queue, if you're on the fence of deciding to go or not to go, then probably can drop by around noon to see if there are still any freebies. I think if the 200 units are sold out in the first hour, it's very likely for them to add additional units as well.

im those people laughing at those who overnight just to get first crack at the device or shoes, now im one of them HAHAHA.

maybe ill just go in the morning. prolly around 6 to avoid the jam and just chill there with my friend and c my luck.

tbh i dont think ill use their glass casing,not a fan of flip style and also their sp. charging and pw bank. maybe.

in the end. hopefully the phone is just great.
*
haha, while I'm the type that goes there 11am hoping there's still slot doh.gif sweat.gif

but honestly, since it's a pretty huge event, best go there early just to make sure. I guess the queue might probably even start the night before on certain locations, but reaching around 7am should be quite safe for the 200 units

You also bought from lazada? Unfortunately  lazada seem to update tracking late at night.

also? means you ordered from lazada as well? hopefully I dont even need to use the tracking number and get it later today, since they ship out before noon I believe, and it could be quite likely.

burn in might happen for home button, better turn the aod home button off

it's confirmed by some youtubers that the home button would also shift pixels to prevent that. The put a masking tape on the home button original position, then record it, and they notice that it will shift towards left upper direction, then shift back down again.
